Today I am ****ed off with ..........

[Cricko]

I've had my porridge and a second cup of tea and now feel quite mellow again. I'm just thankful he decided to go to work today! Oh, and tell Cricko I'm sure he knows where the kettle is!

I'm curious to know, are you all completely helpless when you're ill? And for the record, I quite enjoyed my experiences of child birth, I was so high on gas and air both times that I laughed through about 90% of it - especially when they tried to put me on a drip and missed and I had blood shooting out of the back of my hand! Amazing really, when it feels like you're trying to pass a water melon - or is that too much for you squeamish types at this time in the morning?!

Of course I do its just by your toaster ...;)

I have found that the difference between men and women when they are ill is twofold.
Ill men will go into work until that are physically unable, but recuperate when at home
Women will take time off work at the drop of a hat, but then do things around the house (Even when hubby is telling them not to)

And back on the what p***es me off bit of this thread...Drivers who use a residential road as a cut through and then get the hump when a resident pulls out of his drive and sticks to the speed limit.

Not me! Not had a day off sick in over 2 years, except one day with daughter who'd been throwing up all night (yes, and that's another bone of contention - it's always me that has to do this!), just dose myself up to the hilt and get on with it, then still have to come home, cook dinners, do washing and ironing etc because if I don't no-one else will!

But I agree about your point on residential roads. We have a number of "boy racer" types, you know, the type you can hear half a mile away with the music thump, thumping who use our road as a cut through. They come round into the road on the wrong side of the bollard there then tear up it, screeching up behind someone pulling out legitimately because they're going the right speed. I'd love to have a camera at the end of our road to catch the people going round the bollard the wrong side.

Groups of women who consider the train to be a suitable forum to discuss the minutiae of their working and personal lives.

 

[Slipperduke]

1, People who walk into the pub, instantly adopt whichever Premier League team is on the telly, and then celebrate like it's the orgasmic end to thirty years of heart when their new found heroes score a scrappy near post header. In my experience, these people can most often be found in Clapham and they are almost always called Jeremy (Call me Jez!)

2, Television. Find one shameless celebrity, pick one concept, oooh, let's say children's artwork, give it a location, hmmm, Luxor? and then you're in business. "Pat Sharpe - Finger Painting For The Pharoahs" That'll run for 28 weeks on BBC3 before anyone realises what's going on.

3, Little girls walking attack-dogs. The Rottweiller has been specifically bred over hundreds of years to be the ultimate killing machine. It's built like a Panzer, it's more powerful than a neutron bomb and it's being kept under control by...erm...a 4ft 8 teenage girl. Nice present, Dad. Next time, why don't you go the whole hog and buy her a unlicensed shotgun, eh?

Since I have become a parent I treat all dog owners with contempt.

Especially those who cheerfully comment 'Don't worry, he'd only lick you to death!' as you hold a toddler aloft and prepare to kick the t!ts off of an unleashed and rapidly approaching Alsatian.

Owners of these so called "Pets" ..that still let them crap all over the pavement/road and just walk off as if nothing as happened. 9 times out of ten this is normally by my car door like yesterday on Chalkwell seafront. I said to the owner ...Shall I come around your house and Sh!T in your driveway ...he just groaned something inconprehensible and walked off with his nineteen kids..:mad:

That's where I thought the previous post was going! The number of times I see dogs doing their business on the grass verge outside my house and the owner preparing to walk on...I'm afraid I go and ask them politely to clear it up. If they can't cope with it then they shouldn't have them in the first place.

3 things that have hacked me off all weekend:

1. My husband having man flu, and being totally unable to think for himself that sometimes, just sometimes, medication DOES help as does eating and drinking the right stuff!

2. My husband having man flu, and falling asleep on the settee all afternoon both days instead of going back to bed!

3. My husband having man flu, nicking all the duvet, coughing and keep getting up to go to the loo hence depriving me almost completely of sleep!

As you can see, I'm not too hot on sympathy, but that's because as we all know, women just GET ON WITH IT! Rant over, calm and peace returns as he's just gone to work and it's half term so the kids are still asleep.:)

Man Flu is the single biggest killer of men in the UK FACT! (Actually I made that up, but I always use that line when I'm ill)

 

[South Bank Hank]

A good time to resurrect a fine old thread...



So who/what's ****ing me off today?
First Choice, that's who!!

I have a look at the old bank account this morning and see that they've debited my bank account not once, not twice, not THREE times, but FOUR TIMES for the holiday I recently booked for the missus and I.

:madman:

60 minutes later on the phone (including an interesting 'conversation' with the lovely Beepa who can no more understand me than I can understand her) I finally have to accept the wonderful news that my cash will be back where it should be in three working days!! despite the fact that I could get money to them in 3-4 hours if I so wanted.

****S!!

Ah points Slipper 2) I love that programme its great

3 Rottweillers are breed to be family dogs , designed to protect the pack (pound for pound your Irish wolfhound and St BArnards are more powerful) And did you know Golden retrivers have a higher instance of attacking their owners . your thinking more your doberman or Staffordshire bull terrieers (both wil and must only have 1 owners) . Any decent trainer you breader will tell you Rotties are fantastic with kids (and some barbicue sauce) err i mean

The highway code says you do not need to indicate if you are steering the car with your knee whilst trying to put your seatbelt on.

Watch out for that one on the written test.

It also says you can use a claw hammer on people who do so. And a 13ft steel harpoon with 50lbs of semtex on people who floor it at 40mps in residential 30 zones becuase their late for their meetings or just being arseholes.
